Cycling is up 4⃣7⃣% in Scotland in the year since the first lockdown – brilliant news

Temporary infrastructure across Scotland has helped more many people to cycle safely, especially new & inexperienced riders

We urge councils to make these spaces permanent – the need is clear

[Edinburgh ABC @Edinburgh_ABC]

We know you are all keen to get back on our bikes. We're reviewing our staff and volunteer availability with a view to running some pre-bookable sessions in April #EdinburghABC #CyclingUK #InclusiveCycling

Cycling is amazing. And it should be for everyone.

But to make that happen, the next Scottish Government must invest and deliver across Scotland. Add your voice & help make cycling an easy & attractive option for all.
